Title:
  "1 songs played today" is not grammatically correct

Status in Ubuntu Music App:
  Confirmed
Status in libusermetrics package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I play a single song in the music app, the welcome shows "1 songs
  played today". This is not grammatically correct.

  Here's the relevant chunk from the music-app.qml:

  Metric {
      id: songsMetric
      name: "music-metrics"
      format: "<b>%1</b> " + i18n.tr("songs played today")
      emptyFormat: i18n.tr("No songs played today")
      domain: "com.ubuntu.music"
  }

  FWICS, it looks like the problem is due to a limitation of
  libusermetrics. If so, two possible solutions come to mind:

  1) Extending libusermetrics to allow the specification of a
  "singleFormat:" which in this case would be:

      singleFormat: "<b>%1</b> " + i18n.tr("song played today")  // It's
  now "song", not "songs"

  2) Having some JS construct the format dynamically based on the value
  somehow? The problem there being that every app that wanted to get
  this right would need to implement the JS.
